School considers ban on cross-dressing

A Virginia school district is considering a ban on cross-dressing.

One board member calls out concerns for the safety of several male students who wear dresses and wigs to school.

The proposal explicitly bans clothing "not in keeping with a student's gender...distracts others from the educational process or posses health concerns."

The ban stems from issues raised by the board vice chairwoman who cited reports about male students, who wore feminine clothing, having to use faculty restrooms due to safety concerns.

If approved, the ban would take affect next school year.

Critics say this would violate students' first amendment rights.

How do you feel about this?

Is the ban an attack on the transgender community?

Or, do you think the school board is truly concerned with student safety?
